I want to enjoy my last few weeks (well...days now...) of not having a baby to take with me everywhere I go, or worrying about getting a baby-sitter. So I also added getting a pedicure and going to see the new Harry Potter movie--two things I wanted to do sometime before the baby was born. Well last Saturday I was able to cross both of those things off my list. I went with my sister, Kristen, and friend, Karen, to get a pedicure. It was so nice to just relax and have someone take care of my toes that I can no longer reach. And they're so cute now! :) Then Kristen, Andrew and I got food at Five Guys Burgers and Fries--a semi-new burger joint in Orem that we've all wanted to try out since it opened. (Very good, by the way.) Following that, the three of us went to see the new Harry Potter movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly, even though it was really hard to sit through the whole thing in the theater. Good thing no one can tell that you're fidgeting a lot in the dark theater. It was a nice relaxing day, after which Andrew set up the crib and we got things mostly organized for the "nursery" we'll have. So it was a fun day AND we got something accomplished as well. I was so happy to be able to cross so many things off of our to-do list. I totally recommend everyone taking a day off (or at least half of a day) and doing something just for you! It's very rejuvenating and makes it easier to deal with the stresses of life. Andrew and I pretty much have things set up for the arrival of our newest family member now, and are getting very anxious for her arrival. Me especially as I can't sleep very well anymore and am mostly uncomfortable a good majority of the time. Pregnancy is so much fun. :)

Pampering Time
Well it's getting to be crunch time for getting things done before the baby gets here! I made a list of everything I want to get done before she comes. Most of the list is filled with the normal things you would expect--build the crib, install the car seat, pack the hospital bag....stuff like that. But I decided to include some other things on this to-do list that are purely for my own enjoyment as well. I realize that my life is going to be drastically different after I have this baby, so

You're getting to the end! Just remember not to pack your hospital bag. I maintain that was why Ellie came a week early. Besides, it gives you something to do between contractions...as long as they're not 3 minutes apart when you start to feel them.:) I'm so excited for you guys!
Was your pedicure fun? I'll have to go with you sometime!
I'm glad the crib is ready. I always felt like I had to have everything ready way early-- at least 3 months before I was due. :) We can't wait to meet her!
Hooray for having a "day off" and doing something fun, as well as getting stuff done! But, HI, I wish I had been there too! I want a pedicure and to see the new Harry Potter. I guess I don't have as good an excuse to get those things "crossed off my list." :) Can't wait to see you this weekend!! Just try to make the baby hold off until I get there, okay? :)
I'm so glad you managed to squeeze a pedicure in there before the big day! I consider that an ESSENTIAL component of the whole birthing process. :) Especially when, like you said, you can't reach your toes for, what, the entire last trimester?! It's nice to have someone take care of them for you! I can't believe you're SO stinkin close. Can't wait to hear when the little lady comes. Good luck with everything!
